What is Kappa Kappa Psi?
Creed We,
the brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi, believe that service to the college or
university band program fosters responsibility, loyalty, and leadership;
that a spirit of brotherhood is enhanced by the participation in a band
program; that music is a universal language and truly the greatest of
the arts; and that through fraternal participation, each member will
strive for the highest.

bandmembers, is an organization operating exclusively in the field of
the college and university bands, and for the following several
purposes:

stimulate campus leadership and promulgate an uncompromising respect
through the medium of the college band for gracious conduct, good taste,

Kappa
Kappa Psi Fraternal Code of Conduct
Brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi are looked to as role models and leaders by
other members in the band and on campus. We can never know who is
watching our actions or who will be affected by our deeds. It is
therefore essential that we present positive qualities at all times.
Being a Brother is not a part time commitment. As such, the example we
set should shine constantly to inspire others. The following qualities
define Brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi. These qualities described Bohumil
Makovsky, our Guiding Spirit. By following Boh's example, we will teach
and inspire others, as he taught and inspired our Founding Fathers.
Kappa Kappa Psi is a band fraternity that focuses on service,
leadership, and music. Epsilon Kappa is the chapter belonging to the ASU Ram
Band, and as an organization we are committed to help mold the Ram Band
into one of the premiere band programs in the state of Texas, as well as
improve the quality and awareness of music in our community and the
surrounding area.
